Walking in Provence Janette Norton

Provence''s relaxed Mediterranean charm attracts many visitors to its coast, yet the area also has much to offer the walker. The countryside provides both unexpected solitude and a diversity of landscapes - one day a remote plateau, the next a leafy gorge. The walking is magical and full of discovery - an ancient ruin, a tumbletown village, monuments, shrines and old canals. This is a landscape with a past, and hwen you walk you stumble on history. Interesting diversions beckon, and the air is warm and fragrant with herbs.
This guide contains 42 short and medium-length walks in the areas of Alpes Maritimes, Var, Vaucluse and northern Provence, together with all the practical information required for an enjoyable trip.
